Key points

The game was originally distributed as Half-Life mod. And it is generally unplayable with modern version of HL. Fortunately, later it was re-released as standalone game based on Xash3D Engine. This version is called TGE (The Game Edition) and works as intended.

Issues fixed

Game crashes or becomes unresponsive

Update FMOD library
  1. Game is distributed with FMOD v3.71, you should update it to v3.75.
  2. FMOD library resides here: <path-to-game>\paranoia\cl_dlls\fmod.dll.
  3. Get updated FMOD dll elsewhere and just copy it to aforementioned path.

Notes

Updated FMOD dll is included with fan patch. If you just want to update FMOD library, you don't have to install the whole patch: download archive, open it and here you have your updated FMOD dll - Paranoia_the_game_custom_patch_v1.2.6_lanif\paranoia\cl_dlls\fmod.dll.
